What software would you recommend for a newbie? I know none of the packages are easy to learn, and any that are won't be any good. I've played around with the FL Studio (Fruity Loops) Demo a bit. Should I stick with this, or get into something else? Thanks for any advice.

Kiragan

Stick with it. Its an upgradable studio so you can make it bigger and better with plugins and soft-synths. There are also plenty of Fruity producers on here if, so if you run into any problems, there is alsways someone to help you out.

While I admit I didn't use the search function, I did scan through the subjects on all the pages of the forum, and didn't really see any that looked like they would have what I was looking for. Thanks to everyone who said to stick with FL. Is there anyone who would recommend anything else, and if so, why? Are there any weaknesses of FL that another package is better at, etc.?

Thanks again,
Kiragan

Try demos of various software and see what fits you best.

No!

The thing is, you should start with a program to learn how to produce. You can't start with two or three at the same time.
And once you have mastered the program, you can expand your abilities to other programs and then you can choose the right program for yourself.
But as long as you don't have any knowledge about producing, just start practicing with, in this case, Fruity and you'll learn a lot from it...

Start with Fruity! See where your needs take you. Some never feel the need to get anything else and many of these same people get professional results.

Try out other demos of other programs and see what you like best. I am not really comfortable with Fruity as a midi sequencer . I don't like the concept of generating loops and then mixen them. So I tried Cubase SX, and I like it. It's also a more complete software package than Fruity. Try the search engine on this forum and look what other users opinion about music software packages.
